Once I change my major, we can be together...

Okay, I'll wait for you.

………

Lin Ziyan didn't want to recall what happened after that.

She patted her head. Is this what a memory lapse looks like?

How many plot holes did the original owner leave that she needs to fill?

"Ziyan, since you suddenly stopped coming to school, I can only come to see you during summer vacation..."

Hou Fangguan looked at her earnestly, his tone urgent.

Lin Ziyan, "..."

Professor Shen, "Who is he?"

The chubby girl also looked confused...

"Let's go over there and talk." Lin Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief.

She first walked to the shade of a nearby tree, cursing the original owner of the body a thousand times in her mind.

Hou Fangguan, a northerner, studied at an ocean university, majoring in ship design.

The original owner, Lin Ziyan, gave him half of her living expenses.

Hou Fangguan used sweet words to coax Lin Ziyan into changing her major, making all sorts of empty promises.

He promised to take her back to Beijing, to treat her well in the future, and that he only liked her…

She even made the original owner buy her drinks, saying it was a way of showing her love for him.

When they went to the cafeteria, he would always pretend to be happy just watching you eat, but he would stare at the chicken leg and wait for the original owner to buy it.

They always succeed...

"Ziyan, why have you become so cold?" Hou Fangguan asked suspiciously.

He specifically chose a brand new pair of faded trousers, just so as not to embarrass Lin Ziyan.

Moreover, Hou Fangguan had already decided that Lin Ziyan would reimburse his travel expenses, as it wasn't easy for him to come all this way, and he had vomited several times after getting off the bus.

Lin Ziyan looked at him and said, "I hit my head when I got home and lost part of my memory."

"Hou Fangguan, I have a ninety-year-old mother and two young sisters to support at home. Are you still willing to date me?"

"I only accept men who marry into my family and also help support my grandmother and sisters."

"And I won't go back to your hometown with you..."

Hou Fangguan's eyes widened, and a surge of anger rose within him.

He thought that if he studied at university for two more years, he would have a bright future. He lied to Lin Ziyan just so that they could both have formal jobs and improve their lives.

Lin Ziyan stared at him expectantly and continued, "By the way, my family still has 1,000 yuan in debt. We can..."

"Pretend I didn't come..." Hou Fangguan turned and ran away.

I ran for a while and almost fell into a ditch.

Lin Ziyan's lips twitched, and she shook her head. This person had better never show up again.

Otherwise, she would demand all the money the original owner spent on him back.

The original owner had a habit of keeping accounts, even recording the meals eaten in the cafeteria.

She returned to the courtyard, and everyone stared at her.

Lin Ziyan coughed lightly, "That was a classmate. I lent him money, and he came to pay off his debt."

Fat girl, "..."

Professor Shen gave a soft hum. He hadn't thought of that person before, but now he did—it was someone majoring in ship design.

He was on the school's list of students from impoverished families every year.

It wasn't that he discriminated against students from poor families; it's just that once when Shen Hai went to the cafeteria to get food, he saw him lying to a girl to buy groceries for her, and in the end, he just coaxed her with a few words and let it go.

Chen Hai didn't have a good impression of this person at that time.

Lin Ziyan: "Professor Shen, do you still want to see Xiaoyu?"

She really didn't want to mention that person again; he was a complete liar, pretending to be so affectionate.

…

The cornfield at the entrance of the village

Wei Caixia was peeling corn stalks when she looked up to wipe her sweat and saw a familiar figure.

She looked around, immediately dropped what she was doing, and ran over.

"Hou Fangguan!"

Wei Caixia called out.

The man turned his head and saw her, his brows furrowed, not recognizing her at first glance.

"Hou Fangguan, what brings you to our village?" Wei Caixia chased after him, her eyes bright.

She had heard from her classmates that Hou Fangguan's family was a pawnshop and lived in a compound.

"Are you from Ocean University?" Hou Fangguan asked.

He looked the person in front of him up and down, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

However, he didn't show it on his face.

Hou Fangguan saw the cornfield behind her and roughly guessed what was going on.

Wei Caixia: "I'm a fisheries major, Wei Caixia."

"Are you here to see Lin Ziyan?"

Hou Fangguan looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Lin Ziyan didn't chase after him.

But he didn't have a single penny on him, so how was he going to get home?

Hou Fangguan looked at Wei Caixia and said, "I'm not looking for her."

"Hey Wei, I got dumped on the road by a shady driver and I don't have any money. Can you give me 10 yuan?" Hou Fangguan tried his best to look pitiful.

Wei Caixia's eyes widened, and she took two steps back. "I..."

She only had two yuan on her, which she had saved up by living frugally for a whole semester.

Li Zhaodi didn't know, otherwise she would have been taken away.

“Hey classmate, can you help me out…” Hou Fangguan continued, his disdain in his eyes undisguised.

However, Wei Caixia had her head down and didn't see it.

Hou Fangguan thought to himself, "This village is really poor. I guess only Lin Ziyan's family is rich."

But that was in the past...

"I...I only have two yuan..." Wei Caixia's face turned so red it was almost bleeding.

Hou Fangguan swallowed hard. "Two yuan is fine too..."

He was itching to search him, because he had only eaten a cornbread on the way here, and now his stomach was empty and he was about to faint from hunger.

cluck cluck…

Wei Caixia looked up at him, pursed her lips, and turned to run back to the cornfield.

She had left the uneaten steamed buns in the field that morning, along with the two yuan she had put in the inner pocket of her clothes...

Hou Fangguan waited for a while, and when he saw Wei Caixia run back again, he narrowed his eyes.

“Take these…” Wei Caixia said hesitantly, stuffing the things into his arms.
